AddressThe Opportunity
As a Donor Contact Consultant, you will be working in the Donor Contact Centre: the connection point between Plan International Australia, our supporters and the girls and communities we work for. As a team we pride ourselves on providing high quality supporter experience to drive engagement, acquisition and retention and work hard to hard to chase ambitious targets and raise critical funds for Plan’s humanitarian, development and advocacy programs. We are proud of our ambitious, passionate, fun and supportive team culture that is centred on teamwork, development and growth.
Who are we?
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.
We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion, and discrimination. And its girls who are most affected.
Collaborating with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all children.
We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national, and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.
We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 85 years and are now active in more than 80 countries.
What it is really like
An average day in the PIA, the Donor Contact Centre team is quite varied – no day will be quite the same, but throughout your time, we will see you performing these duties:

Deliver high quality supporter experience to build connection to impact and retain our community of engaged and inspired supporters as part of their Donor Love journey.
Maintain Plan’s supporter database.
Resolve complex supporter enquiries via our inbound and outbound contact channels.

Demonstrated ability to go above and beyond for each of our supporters.
Effective communication skills, both written and verbal
The drive to learn and grow, facing the challenges of a fundraising/phone-based role with a positive attitude
A genuine passion for empowering children and achieving gender equality.

We strongly encourage applications from the Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander community.
